That this House notes that there are over half a million people in the United Kingdom with autism who, to varying degrees, struggle to make sense of the world; further notes that this can cause them considerable anxiety, particularly in understanding and relating to other people and taking part in everyday family, work and social life; welcomes World Autism Day on 2 April 2009 which can help to bring together people with autism, their parents and carers, educators, employers and potential employers, and the many people with autism who are undiagnosed; and expresses the hope that World Autism Day will increase awareness and understanding of the problems associated with autism and levels of help for those with autism.
